Hi nurses, I am a recent ADN grad in NY looking for an quick ,affordable but reputable online bridge program. I'm considering Utica College because they will take all my credits and is 100% online with no clincicals. They are $330 /credit. I am cond...

Hi Joshua, They didn't ask about past grades at all and I had a few blemishes on my transcript also. Consider yourself in. They will only tell you what classes you need to still take to graduate. About the essay,the professor that read it wrote "...

Sbp, I agreed with Annie, NYIT does not have a good passing rate on the NCLEX (state boards)... NCC is close to the top and a bargain financially. NCC is a well established program and accredited. Karenanda

Congrats Annie! Such great news.!!

Congrats Kuklara!! Yippee! Don't worry about the interview.. it's basically a formality. Only if a person does not understand English at a minimum basic level would it be a big deal. Here's how mine was in December. It is in three part 1. The wh...

Glad luck girls... got my fingers crossed. The workload is insane once you get in so enjoy the wait. Karenanda

Russl, I got accepted to NCC and orientation is tomorrow there. I was taking pre-reqs there also. I was determined to get in and studied practically non-stop. I had gotten all A's in all pre-reqs except for a B+ in Statiistics. . January start is...

Russl, Glad that's cleared up. Looking forward to hearing the good news in the spring. I was going to apply to Farmingdale for Fall 10 if I didn't get into NCC this time. My nursing orientation is tomorrow! Yikes! :)

Russl, there is a dedicated nursing admissions counselor in admissions. I forget her name, but it's something like Mrs. Pereshevsky. I would ask to speak with her and she would definitely know. I just checked the website and I confirmed that st...

Russl66, Perhaps there is a different procedure for students not currently attending NCC or they changed the procedure. When I applied in November, there was an application from the nursing department and we had to submit directly to them. Best of ...

all pre-req credits and electives that you can use towards nursing degree must appear on your nassau transcript before applying to the nursing program. You apply as a liberal arts major and then when you are accepted to the nursing program you will ...

Maybe Kuklara submitted her application to admissions for admission to the college and transfer her credits. Admissions to the nursing school will be in March and is a separate application process submitted directly to the nursing department. One h...

Hi Kuklara, I just got accepted into NCC and start next week. I also heard that Nassau county residents get an extra point in the method that they use to evaluate applications. But they accept more apps for September than in January and you have al...

Hi Suzi, Sorry you didn't get in. As for your question, if the head of nursing advised you not to retake Psy then I assume she know more about their admission process than I do. Do you have more non- nursing requirements to take.?like Med Micro, D...

Hi Suzi, Thanks for asking. I'm happy to announce that Dibbs and I both got it to NCC for January. We ended up posting the good news in another thread. I'm very excited and nervous at the same time. As hard as it is to get in, I hear it's hard to...

Those sound like amazing grades. Don't understand why you were denied. I have read on these boards that sometimes more seats open up later one if the people got in to more than one school and don't accept the seat. Best of luck to you. Did you h...

EMT- Native, I had a 3.93 GPA. I had all A is in pre-reqs and some reqs classes except for a B+ in Statistics. Another classmate of mine also got in with a 3.9 and another with a 3.8. I had completed AP1, Eng Comp1, Statistics, General Psych, Soc...

Congrats Dibbs!! I got in too! So excited and nervous too. Can't wait to start! Thanks for waiting this out with me. Do you have any idea what the interview is like? Good luck to other waiting to hear.

The same thing happened to me a few times and here's how I managed to get in. Go to the department chairperson and ask to be let in. Go back again if you get a NO the first time. Be persistent. If that doesn't work, and if your college allows you to ...

Thanks Dibbs... Good luck to you too!!.... I guess it all depends what we're up against. Everyone that I'm friends with in my AP2 that's applied have 3.9's also so I'm pretty nervous. If I don't make it for January then there's always September. :)

Hi Dibbs, I didn't attend the NCC info meeting. Thanks for passing that along. Did they say they want all the other coursework done? I am currently taking AP2 and Eng Comp2 and still have Med Micro and Psych Life Cycle to take. I applied for Sprin...

The same thing happened to my for both AP1 and AP2 and both times I managed to get in. This first time I went to the department chair and asked for an over-ride and they let me in. The second time, I just kept checking the online registration status...
